Full Moon, August 19^th, 2024, 2:26pm EDT

Welcome to the Full Moon in Aquarius, and the first of four Super Moons.    The Moon and Sun are forming a grand crossroads with Uranus in Taurus and Pallas Athena in Scorpio.  Pluto and Uranus are in a manifestation, with Neptune in the middle, forming a resource with both.   And finally, Neptune and Pluto are forming a Boomerang Yod with the Sun/Mercury and Vesta, with the Moon as the “release valve” of the boomerang .  Phew!   What this means is that flashes of insight, awakening, sudden change of direction, and transformation are very possible (if not assured).   Mercury, involved in this Yod, is retrograde and will not recover his shadow until September 11^th.  That means that Mercury will come back and reactivate this aspect in the coming weeks.   The relationship between the transformative energies of Pluto and the dreamy, often confusing energies of Neptune are not new, as they have been in resource for several months, however with the Full Moon acting as a release point, you can expect some sort of shift to occur.   The Full Moon is ruled by Uranus, and the Sun is at home in Leo.  So this is a potent time for the Sun and the Moon to illuminate everything about you.  What do you see about yourself now?  How do you perceive yourself, and what are you learning about yourself?  Mercury in Leo is supporting a shift in mindset.  Use this shift to your advantage! We already know that Uranus is going to be serving up flashes of insight, brilliance, and/or some other shake up and wake up.  And, with Pallas in the crossroad, we have wisdom and resourcefulness available to us.  It’s important to stay as balanced and centered as possible to allow for conscious choice towards the most fulfilling path.  If change is thrust upon you, can you come from a place “nothing happens to me, but rather for me”?   

Retrograde Saturn is bridging Venus, with Mars and Jupiter (who are separating after their new cycle that occurred just days earlier on August 14^th)  forming an intersection between Venus and Saturn.   Saturn can be giving some resistance to whatever was offered up by this new cycle with Mars and Jupiter, or can be providing structure and maturity to whatever you want to do next.  What are you wanting to move towards, and what is holding you back?  What limiting beliefs could be in play that are stunting your growth?  What responsibilities do you need to tend to, and which can you get help with?  What needs to go?  Venus is asking, “What do you truly value?”  Do you feel worthy of these values?  What is truly important?  In Virgo, Venus asks, “Where can you be of service?”  Mars and Jupiter’s new cycle occurred in Gemini- where heart and mind connect and balance.  Saturn in Pisces can assist with providing structure and help navigate the emotional waters of change.  You may feel tension between the jubilant and passionate energies of Mars/Jupiter, and the restricting energy of Saturn, however balance, as usual, is the key.  All of these energies are meant to work together as a whole.

This is a big lunation, and remember that Mercury is retrograde.  You don’t have to do anything today.  Be present to the big energies.  Allow them to stir up whatever is ready to be stirred up!  Remember that change is a part of life, and we are here to shift and evolve.  I’ll leave these questions here for pondering:

Where or how can you be in service?

What do you truly value?  (Hint- actions mean more than words here)

What is stirring within your soul?  What is calling you?

What insights have shown up?   Any signs or synchronicities?

Where do you need more structure and balance in your life?  Where do your routines need tweaking?  Do you need less structure and more freedom?

Are you inspired to learn anything new?  What would you like to share, or teach?

Do you believe you are worthy of anything showing up for you now?  (Hint- you are!  If you don’t believe so, start getting curious about why you don’t believe it).

If change is showing up for you, are you resisting it?  If so, why?  What does your Soul have to say about this change?  What are the possibilities here?

Blessings to all on this Super Moon!

Full Moon in Capricorn, July 21, 2024 6:17am EDT

This is the second full Moon in Capricorn, this time occurring at 29 degrees (the Full Moon in June was at 1 degree Capricorn).  If you thought last month’s lunation was intense, then buckle your seatbelt and prepare for a ride.

This time, the lunation doesn’t just occur at the powerful 29^th degree, but includes the following:

The Moon is conjunct Pluto, in resource with Neptune, manifesting with Mars and Uranus, Great eliminator with Mercury.

The Sun is in intimacy with Mercury, in resource with Mars and Uranus and manifesting with Neptune.

AND- the Moon and the Sun are creating an intersection with Chiron and Eris (23 and 25 degrees Aries) and another one with Haumea at 0 degrees Scorpio.   Phew!

This lunation continues the themes that began at last month’s full Moon, completing something that showed up at the time along the themes of the Cancer/Capricorn axis.  You can review last month’s report and/or your journal to remember what was showing up at that time.  Recall that Capricorn is the sign of the Executive Director and Cancer is the sign of the Mother.    The Moon is also still disposed by Saturn in Pisces.  Consider this- are there emotional wounds, especially from childhood (Cancer energy) that are being illuminated by the Sun?  Are those wounds preventing you from claiming rightful ownership of your life, your goals, your dreams?  

Mercury in a stepping stone with Uranus promises flashes of insight, although those insights may not feel comfortable.   The upside to discomfort is that it can be very motivating.  Let yourself be moved!  Old patterns of thinking and behaving serve to keep you in your comfort zone, but is it serving your highest good?

Mars and Uranus are manifesting with the Moon and Pluto and when these two come together it is always very powerful.  Pluto is always pushing for transformation and rebirth, and Mars is lending his energy to make way for something more in alignment with your higher self.  This could also feel very big (Pluto), sudden (Uranus) and possibly overwhelming (Moon).   Remember to give yourself plenty of self-love, compassion and empathy.   Re-parent yourself by giving yourself the attention and empathy you deserve, but may not have been given as a child. Said another way, showing up for yourself may feel very foreign to you, but it’s important to do so.  Hold space for yourself without judgment.  This allows you to bridge the Cancer energy of the Mother with these powerful Capricorn energies and use it to serve your highest path instead of holding you back.

Mercury is forming a Finger of God with Neptune and the Moon/Pluto.   The tension between emotional transformation (Moon/Pluto) and enlightenment or illusions (Neptune) points to  thoughts/beliefs (Mercury).  So practice awareness of those thoughts and beliefs and remember to consider how those thoughts and beliefs serve your highest good.  The work of Byron Katie is coming to mind right now.  You can ask yourself, “Is this true?”  “Who would I be if I didn’t believe these thoughts?”  (I’m paraphrasing Byron Katie but you can look her up if you want a deeper dive.)

Finally, let’s discuss the intersections (one could argue it’s a crossroads but Eris and Haumea are a bit far apart).  We have Eris, the inner disruptor, dancing with Chiron, the wounded healer.  Inner pain is informing this lunation. On the other side the powerful 5D creatrix, Haumea, insists that something magical can be made here.   So which direction to choose?  Remember that old wounds can be healed and we can move forward.   Old, repetitive cycles can be transcended.   Pluto is practically demanding it.

This is an incredibly powerful, transformative Full Moon. Give yourself plenty of space to be in this energy.  Remember that love transcends fear, and focus on what you love. What do you want your legacy to be?  What is Pluto demanding of you at this time?  Can you take one small step forward?  And another?  And then another?

Let’s all take a collective deep breath, with hands on our hearts.  The energy is huge right now.  As I am writing this, I am sending all of you love and peace.  Let’s all send that energy out into the world.  It is needed.  And all is well.
